**** off to a motoring newsgroup, you thick ****.

**** off to a moderated cycling newsgroup, you thick ****.

The ****** moderated group is dying, very few posts.
I suspect that the pro-cyclists may have wanked themselves to death or
undertaken a left turning lorry.

Try Specsavers: "We would urge all road users to 'think bike' as even a
simple lack of judgement can prove fatal to a CYCLIST."

It is a story about a motorcycle and a tractor, no bicycles involved.


I shall post what I like , where I like and when I like!


Sounds like a typical self centred cyclist.

But it could so easily have been a cyclist.

ANY driver or CYCLIST could've been the victim because of the farmer's
thoughtlessness. It pays to highlight these accidents. It might make
other drivers more aware of the dangers.

No doubt low flying aircraft, skateboarders, roller skaters should all
be warned.



You forgot people flying with jetpacks.

BT Share Holder Meeting snipped

I say old bean: I trust you are not suggesting that I buy a single share and
then attend the share holder's meeting to make a complain about someone in the
newsgroup.

That would just not be the done thing.

You can't just turn up and post you know: it is a private members club.

I don't think either myself or Simon Mason are allowed in.

More than 50% of posts there are made by a chosen few of 8 people.

More than thirty people ( a third of the number of posters there) have made
just one or two posts and then ****ed off (probably because it was made clear
they weren't welcome)
